Ingredients
- 300g Dark chocolate & Welsh roasted coffee (3 bars)
- 100g granulated sugar
- 250g light brown sugar
- 225g butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 4 eggs
- 2 egg yolks
- 160g plain flour
- 45g dark cocoa powder
- (optional) 100g chocolate chunks or nuts
Method
- Preheat your oven to 170 degrees celsius and line a 10 inch baking tray with parchment paper.
- Place your chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl over a pan of boiling water, keep on a medium heat until both the chocolate and the butter are melted.
- Take your chocolate mix off the heat and add in the granulated sugar, light brown sugar and your salt, mix until combined.
- Leave the mixture to cool for a while, then whisk in the vanilla, eggs and egg yolks, two at a time, to make sure they fully incorporate.
- In a separate bowl, weigh out your plain flour and cocoa powder. Then sift them into your chocolate mixture.
- Fold in your dry ingredients until everything has combined.
- Pour the brownie batter into the tray and level out with the back of a spoon.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 30 minutes, making sure to turn them half way through, so your brownies bake evenly.
Once your brownies are baked, you can either leave them to cool for 5 -10 minutes and serve warm or you can leave them to cool completely and store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
